These chocolate chip pumpkin muffins are the perfect Fall treat. Great for an indulgent breakfast, snack, or even dessert!

I love that this recipe calls for a whole can of pumpkin puree.  I never know what to do with that leftover pumpkin.  These muffins are loaded with great pumpkin flavor!

How to make The Best Pumpkin Muffins Recipe with Chocolate Chips:

*Note:  The full printable recipe card is at the bottom of this post.

  • Bake.
  • Cool and serve.

I used my Buttermilk Banana Bread recipe and made a few small tweaks to come up with these muffins.  They are so moist and full of pumpkin flavor.

This recipe makes a lot (24 muffins), but they keep really well in a sealed container.  And, trust me.  They will not last long. 🙂

    Yes!! Soooo good! I didn’t have brown sugar or regular sugar so I used raw sugar 1 1/2 cups. I made the texas xl muffins 350* for 45 minutes. Made 6 and froze the rest. Not sure if the batter is freezable but we will see. Great recipe! Will definitely make this again.
